Lidl under investigation in Hungary
Change language:
The Economic Competition Authority (GVH) launched an investigation against Lidl in Hungary. They suspect that Lidl misleadingly claimed in its advertising campaigns that it is “the cheapest grocery chain” in the country.
Is Lidl really the cheapest grocery chain?
From 13 February on, Lidl has been advertising its offerings in an allegedly misleading manner, claiming that it is the cheapest chain on the domestic market. However, this might not be the case. GVH experts are now investigating whether these claims are well-founded. From the first of July, the price monitor operated by GVH shows exactly which retail chains offer the most favorable prices in each product category on a given day.
According to the GVH, the survey carried out by Pénzcentrum indicated in the commercial communication that it is probably not suitable for the objective, factual verification of the market leadership claim of the company subject to the procedure. As a result, the national competition authority initiated a competition supervision procedure against Lidl Hungary due to the presumed violation of the prohibition of unfair commercial practices towards consumers.
WHY – and its a COMBINED agreed upon, played out and EFFECTED policy, are the MAJOR Supermarket players literally RIPPING off Hungarian shoppers ?
MEGA number of there products – you shop in Italy as an example, at these supermarkets the PRICE variation say in Italy, tin tomatoes and pasta exampled – why in Hungary do they CHARGE – Price there products at exorbitantly higher prices than if you shopped in Italy ???
Its an AGREED upon PLOY – a cunning agreed plan which is blatant exploitation an ABUSE of us Hungarians – that these MAJOR players in the Supermarket game are factorially imposing upon US.
Its a CARTEL agreement, by the BIG players in the Supermarket Game aimed at Hungary.
Prices are massively inflated on many lines of there products compared to other country’s.
Can’t blame our Government in Hungary for this.
The supermarket chains just think we Hungary are an “easy” target, and LOAD there produce prices.
